not an accepted path for upgrading to Windows XP of any stripe.

Are you sure? My understanding is that an *in-place* upgrade is not
supported. However, I don't see why a clean install is not permitted.
See:

"Windows 95 Official Retail and OEM CD-ROMs are taken as qualifying
media for use with the upgrade version of Windows XP Home or
Professional."
